Hey guys, I'm 99.99% sure I'm picking up a Colombian Rainbow at the expo, just going over everything right now (yes it's 4:00am) and making sure I'm completely prepared.
Any tips from experienced Colombian keepers?
So far, I have:
Enclosure: So far I've read that you're looking at about a 36" long enclosure for adults, 48" if the adult reaches about 5 feet.
Substrate: I personally use paper towel for quarantine purposes, once he joins the snake room however, I'll be using Cypress Mulch like I do with all my snakes.
Temps: From what I've been reading, I'm seeing hot spot of around 85-90, can anyone clarify or confirm this?
Humidity: Obviously a factor to take into account. I'll be handling the humidity levels by offering a humid hide with sphagnum moss, using cypress mulch, offering a water bowl large enough to soak and habitual spraying. I read that the reletive humidity preferred is around 70%, again clarification on this would be nice.
Feeding: Obviously I'll be doing F/T rats of an appropriate size, so no questions there.
Really that's about it. Wish me luck guys, I haven't had the best luck with expo aquisitions. Hopefully I don't end up with another kid that belongs in a bubble. Right Matt_K?
